Impossible Throw.

A meme only spreads if it lands somewhere that copies it. Hold to charge, release to throw the face into the host.

Press Start. The first 3 throws are a free warm-up, then every miss costs a life.

How it works

  • One button. Hold the button, the field, or Space: the power bar rises and falls. Let go to throw. The angle is fixed, so power is the only thing you choose: more power = a longer throw.
  • Level 1 · Warm-up (throws 1–3): the host stands still, a dotted line shows where the face will fly, and a green band on the power bar shows exactly when to let go. Misses here are free.
  • Level 2 · Moving host (throws 4–6): the host slides. You still see the first half of the line and the landing ring, so time your release for when the host reaches it.
  • Level 3 · Hype wind (throws 7–10): wind bends the throw and the guide gets shorter. Level 4 · Tiny hosts drops the guide; Level 5 · Impossible is exactly that.
  • Land on the host: 10 points, up to +5 for hitting the centre (a clean copy). Catch several in a row for a chain bonus up to ×3. Three catches in a row win a lost life back.
  • After the warm-up, a miss costs a life (three per game). After every miss you get a tip: how much higher or lower to let go than last time.
  • Daily run: the same hosts and wind for everyone today. Your first try is the one to share.
  • Challenge a friend: after a game, share a link. Your friend gets the exact same run and your score to beat. Links are for fun, not verified.
  • The white LAST tick on the power bar marks your last release, and faint red dots show the path of your last throw, so you can adjust. Every host sits where some power can reach it, even in wind.
  • Your best scores are saved on this device only. Nothing is sent anywhere. Tap the field or press R after a game to go again.

Why throw?

In The Selfish Gene (1976), Richard Dawkins named the meme: an idea that spreads by being copied. Copying needs a host (a person, a chat, a page) that takes the pattern in at the right moment. Most attempts miss. Read Be a Good Host and What Makes a Copy Win for the idea behind the game.

You throw the official face only: the official Dawkoins frog in a white powdered wig. The hosts are plain labelled shapes drawn for this game. No one else’s characters, logos or art are used. A high score is not a signal about the coin.
